The impossible became possible

By optimising our mounting system, we enable architects and timber professionals to create an original, seamless timber façade design. Profiles fitted crosswise no longer need to be glued, but can simply be attached to an aluminium block with a groove. This means there are no nails or screws visible. With this innovative solution, we not only add a unique aesthetic touch but also contribute to ecological sustainability. The timber cladding is easy to mount and dismantle, meeting the growing demand for circular solutions. What's more, installation is easier and less time-consuming, which is a plus for the professional too.

Uni Line timber cladding combines aesthetics with sustainability

Naturally, we developed our own QuickClip® profile to which this innovative solution applies. Uni line is a circular cladding made from HOTwood ash that combines aesthetics with contemporary design and sustainability. The trendy Uni line profile creates a modern, sleek play of lines and gives the façade relief, as the basic profiles of 20 x 65 mm are alternated with profiles set crosswise to the façade. At corners, the sleek design continues seamlessly.

Uni line is available in two vertical design variants, each with its own appearance: Uni line 40 QC and Uni line 65 QC. The name refers to the depth of the profile. For added creativity, colour variation is possible between the basic profile and the crosswise-fitted profiles. This turns a façade into a real eyecatcher.

Easy and seamless mounting

The unique features of this newcomer to our range of thermo ash cladding lie in its invisible, circular fixing. Just like our other QuickClip® profiles, Uni line is equipped with the unique mounting system from Grad. It consists of an aluminium substructure with pre-mounted clips onto which the basic profiles can be clicked quickly and easily. Highly innovative is the fact that aluminium blocks are now also provided to fit the profiles crosswise quickly and easily. This makes the Uni line QuickClip® profile fully circular and therefore effortless to remove with a set of dismantling keys.

Great freedom in design options

With Uni line, many variations are possible. You can choose between two depths (40 and 65 mm), which you can even play around with. You can also combine several colours for a striking effect. Think, for example, of crosswise-fitted timber profiles that have been pre-weathered in combination with black basic profiles, or a combination of red and black. Prefer everything in the same colour, as in the project below? That's possible too! Whatever finish you choose, the strong lines create a beautiful play of light and shadow.
